Cfoutput within javascript

Question

Just trying to install the google ecom tracking code supplied
by google. It
does some nice things like the actual ROI depending on pay
per click word
chosen.
Ive never had to output cold fusion varibles beofre within
javascript. Do i
need to use use the toscript tag or would the code below
work? Any help
appreciated.
<!----google e-com tracking--------->
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
<!------Output query results into javascript-------->
<cfoutput query="order2">
pageTracker._addTrans(
"#i_orderid#", // Order ID
"#d_grandtotal#" // Total
</cfoutput>
// add item might be called for every item in the shopping
cart
// where your ecommerce engine loops through each item in
the cart and
// prints out _addItem for each
<cfoutput query="lines" >
pageTracker._addItem(
"#lines.i_orderid#", // order ID
"#lines.s_partno#", // SKU/code - required
"#lines.d_price#", // unit price - required
"#lines.i_quantity#" // quantity - required
</cfoutput>
pageTracker._trackTrans();
</script>

Hi Dan
i did run the code and a part of it works. a transcation
with google gets
recorded however all the other parameters are not recorded. I
suspect this
is due to my syntax.
Im a hack and dont know too much about js arrays but from
what ive been able
to find on the web, would it look something like this?
Should they be js variables do you think?

pageTracker._addTrans(
var #toScript(i_orderid, "OrderID")#; // Order ID
var #toScript(d_grandtotal, "Total")#; // Total
</cfoutput>
